The Knowledge Panels that look something like this one These new panels account for the vast majority of the lost Featured Snippets Ive spotchecked and all of them are general Knowledge Panels coming directly from Wikipedia. In some cases Google is using a more generic Knowledge Graph entry. For example HDMI cables which used to show a Featured Snippet dominated by Amazon last I checked now shows no snippet and a generic panel for HDMI In very rare cases a SERP added the new Knowledge Panel but retained the.
Featured Snippet such as the top of this search for credit score These America Mobile Number List situations seemed to be the exceptions to the rule. What about other SERPs The SERPs that lost Featured Snippets were only one part of this story. Over the same time period we saw an explosion about in Knowledge Panels This Yaxis has not been magnified the jump in Knowledge Panels is clearly visible even at normal scale. Other tracking sites saw similar dramatic increases including this data from RankRanger. This jump appears to be a similar type of descriptive panel ranging from commercial keywords like wedding dresses and Halloween costumes... ...to brand keywords like RayBan.
Unlike definition boxes many of these new panels appear on words and phrases that appear to be common knowledge and add little value. Heres a panel on job search... I suspect that most people searching for job search or job hunting dont need it defined. Likewise people searching for travel probably werent confused about what travel actually is... Thanks for clearing that up Google. Ive decided to spare you all and leave out a screenshot for toilet go ahead and Google it. Almost all of these new panels appear to be driven by Wikipedia or Wikidata and most of them are singleparagraph definitions of terms. Were there other changes During the exact same period we also noticed a drop in SERPs with inline image results. Heres a graph of the same week period reported.
